Nearly every day migrants adrift in the mediterranean are rescued often by nongovernmental organizations now n. G. O. S are being accused of colluding with human traffickers really zero for the injured or i personally think its scandalous the way n. G. O. S are being criminalized at the moment by e. U. Policy makers. The libyan coast guard says n. G. O. S are making it too easy for migrants and refugees to reach europe. Its a taxi service for refugees. Valetta various n. G. O. S have rescue ships docked here. Works for the berlin based private initiative see watch two years ago he and his team began patrolling just outside libyan territorial waters looking for refugees and migrants at risk of drowning sea watch alone has rescued more than thirty thousand people. And brought them to sicily. Critics claim their operations have been encouraging more people to risk the perilous journey across the sea. Sick and today three in total i wonder what were going to see tomorrow. Break spiking an update this evening i want sam. Between that this was in the states we do everything in our town to rescue people who are in danger and if we just a little group so we can bring about a youd like to see the clavicle become you can do is increase awareness and provide images to show whats going on out here. With your very people can claim i didnt know them and its newest one and five am the team sets out on its First Expedition of the day by playing the rescue Coordination Center in rome has alerted them to reports of an inflatable raft full of people drifting on the high seas sea watch and other n. G. O. S have been accused of collaborating with people smugglers which is why the air crew will be joined today by a u. N. Official who will be making his own assessment of their activities. Ya but what if we work routinely and with the rescue Coordination Center in rome and when we come across people in distress realize the italians class were in regular contact with them and sometimes an oscar has to fly over a particular position to check whether there abouts and trouble got out. Of. The hole in the night and today we have an observer from the United NationsRefugee Agency with us and wants to see what it is we do. Shout but. The area they are searching is almost the size of two thousand soccer pictures. After two hours in the air they have a sighting. Its the austral a repurposed sailing yacht that belongs to another ngo conducting tireless search and rescue missions in the mediterranean and it just saved the occupants of a rubber dinghy. The astral now has more than one hundred fifty people on board and is making its way to sicily above them. Reuben has the advantage of an aerial view the moon bird is sea watch is only reconnaissance aircraft. The n. G. O. S financed by donations it is currently appealing for contributions to make another ship operational the crew perform all minor repairs and Maintenance Work themselves. Since its founding in twenty fourteen c. Watch has rescued tens of thousands of migrants in the mediterranean Joshua Kruger has personally helped save hundreds of people. Does not the cousin lazy a typical inflatable boats sometimes ill have more than one hundred fifty people in them which is incredibly dangerous and made from extremely thin rubber so imagine one hundred people sitting on each boat holding on to the side cause if someone talks too hard or something unexpected happens with the engine in a dinky bursts you can suddenly have one hundred people in the water for what it. Is its going to be here this entire plane located about in a completely different position than assumed like there was no nearby rescue ship and people were already in the water some had already drowned out it was a very dramatic day some politicians might prefer not to believe it but sometimes the maritime rescue Coordination Center in rome would ask us to check an area because they know theres a boat there so in that sense the m. R. C. Sea can be more proactive than governing authority as they would prefer us not to be that large. A few hundred sea miles further south we join a libyan coast guard patrol tasked with preventing migrants from reaching the european coast captain of the janta of the bari is no fan of the ngos. At. The presence of the ships further complicates matters to them and that will make things easier for the smugglers. Before this they had to make a full journey to lampedusa one hundred. Sixty miles says. That just now they only need to go twelve miles which takes them just two hour was. Sacked and thats a taxi service for refugees. Taxi decks and measure for them a taxi to the pleasure. An accusation that is now being echoed by the e. U. All human traffickers now need to do it says is take their passengers a few sea miles out into International Waters where indios wait to scoop them up into their vessels let me yes yes yes so weve had a report from our h. Q. That theres a boat with Illegal Migrants that specific ordinance. And that theyve sent out an s. O. S. Thats in there that thats where now going to try to find them and certainly yes i mean. Captain until barry wants to be first at the scene but see watch was quicker. Quite a. While before us. But see watch is not allowed to intervene it can only look on as captain up to bari forces the migrants to board his ship as requested by italy. All. Days of what it was turned off the engine. That held the boat is carrying around four hundred people. I. Get back i would. Like to turn off the engine. Whatever more. Wonderful turn out of the engine. Its the captains job to bring these people back to the libyan mainland the e. U. Funds the libyan coast guard operation which it sees as a deterrent. Russia says that anyone who reaches its men call their relatives back home and tell them thats the watch is waiting just twelve months out to sea and encourage them to come to this one. Was one at a time slowly. And said a lot of these people each paid two thousand euros to the criminal gangs operating the books that money is now lost as are their dreams of reaching here at. This nigerian woman is distraught and begs to be returned to the smugglers boat. Boat with four hundred people on board hopes you know that suicide. Bomber. You are going to be youll be safe. Youll be safe you would be safe ive. Got. To. Calm down. If sea watch had been able to intercept the boat the migrants would now be on their way to sicily. Carmella company is the senior immigration official in the port city of sicily. Which says that the on that it was a tsunami the took us completely by surprise we were unprepared and overwhelmed. We had to cope on our own there was no one to help us but on the job that was set off that. Meant that she that this was that means huge changes for us but its something we have to adapt to it but understand how to deal with just see that it is to see it as a burden is the wrong approach. You know so proctor you see what i mean and get the will. The local authorities into tanya are now providing assistance to refugees who wish to stay in italy with language courses apprenticeships and rooms in shared apartments in the city itself not out of town the aim is to integrate them into Italian Society there are ten People Living together in this building most of them spent years trying to reach europe often working under slave like conditions to pay for their continued journey.

She was she did hear me that if you know were going out to the middle of the sea then the men came and rescued us the men with those t. Shirts the red cross. Crossed the italians took care of me im really grateful. If you went for them i wouldnt be alive. I almost died but now im in good health and i have a job in qatar nia so i love caetano. There are people here who love me too. Its a little bit so they get me home. Sekou is one of the fortunate ones hes found his dream job working in a car repair shop with a proper contract and he has his own apartment now that hes independent camilla campione has come to say goodbye she and her colleagues are sorry over an oldie are in charge of ninety six people who want to stay in italy. Even to get into the operation is a nice word and very on locals days they dont but in reality its not easy at all never been so nervous so out of the earth that its vital for the people taking part in the project to do their bit but see bands like us they think they can stay in bed all day or stay out late at night good if theyre not interested in learning italian or doing an internship or anything hard to find a path forward to get a look at them. And saying we are learning italian at a Language School. Is so works two days a week at a Market Garden he loves his job when he was growing up he suffered physical abuse and was forced into child labor. When. Its important that we learn to speak italian. It is so because now were living in italy. Where we ask what schooling theyve had. I went to school in africa for twelve years. Youll think of my my my. Mother i never learned anything in africa like reading writing. Stuff i couldnt even write my own name. To see this. Yes but now yes now i can read a little ill will this is if you can write a little. Bit yet to be. In libya the two men would doubtlessly have had a very different reception to do whatever i thought. Oh whats needed in libya is more information. Out of the for me to make the my quince aware of the situation got it in fact. It cheaper a settlement of the facts to get to place there has to be another way to control the situation there. That other than group force and. The sea watch teen continues its Aerial Patrol reuben and his crew have spent four hours scouring the vast search area. Suddenly a rubber raft comes into view with no sign of any rescue ships in the vicinity ruben relays the boats position to the rescue Coordination Center in rome. Devoted to the group but in cases where the libyan coast guard has threatened rescue ships these are now staying further north people are having to wait longer to be rescued because of the threats and the lack of clear instructions from the m. R. C. See when are hoping to get a Rapid Response from the Coordination Center. General film opposition has said that we can prove were in International Waters. If the libyan coast guard now intervened to bring the boat back to libya it would be violating International Law a tanker appears tonight the name. Rube annoyed the bomber radios the tanker but the captain maintained his course ignoring the plight of the people in the raft. We took photos of the tanker sailing straight past and the captain must have seen about. The plane continues circling over the dinghy until help arrives. At value of the q. B. Aquarius will now head out here as fast as it can but theyre still really far away lets hope all goes well. I dont know if you. Found some of the sound of the neo an hours drive in one from to tania is europes largest Refugee Center almost three thousand people from twenty Different Countries are housed in the settlement which originally served a nearby nato base the director giuseppe din the timely knows a lot of the residents to ensure everyones concerns are addressed hes introduced a system of representation with one man and one woman elected as delegates for each national group. At the level of. The director and his team offer residents professional counseling they can talk about their experiences to an expert or in group sessions. Voting to get what you get a little we must not forget that europe has an obligation to welcome those fleeing from certain death from persecution hunger and. Their journey here is a traumatic one is a lot of them not easy to process for sure the. Community bottled up over theres also a soccer pitch and a volunteer coach a welcome opportunity for young men to have some fun and to can shape their Team Coverage mineo as many chatham make it into a local Soccer League the camp also has a Language School for adults the children attend school in the neighboring town of many oh. Lets just. Say. That. That. You know. This guy. That baez that. Said almost no mental learning. Integration is more difficult if they dont speak the language the first thing it impacts this social class plus if they cant speak the local language there is no way for them to inform themselves about regulations or their own rights. But here at the waldorf platform. Iraqs kind man there with me when youre a good girl to sit by the banality out of it youre better because you let me go to school thats what i love to be in credo my name fence thank you all for blessing us to welcome my senior year of giuseppe genitalia he has been in charge of the camp for just a few months year olds was a pivotal i dont think i used to be a racist but i definitely had a different perspective its contact with people it changes your perception you stop being influenced by the media what politicians say gold to get through. More realistic and thats apprehensive if they can see. The camp is funded by the e. U. Meanwhile captain badri has arrived in tripoli together with the four hundred people who agonizingly had earlier seen europe on the horizon. Let it slip that their nightmare journey now continues in libya. But what was it. That. Regardless of whether theyre economic migrants or Asylum Seekers the libyan authorities view them as illegal immigrants. Anyone caught without a visa ends up in one of the countrys Migrant Detention Centers such as abu salim in tripoli. Today a u. N. Delegation is due to pay a visit im amazed at the suspicious mesh ideas for schools and he told it was gods will and in seriousness i still need to spades mr oakes to see what it will either and it really does well theres going to say i assume so legs and does these we have been so quick inside you dont have three dont to put anything on these scenes the budget the emotions on the sofa with snow ice for those detained here there is little to do except pray sleep and wait. And by no means the worst of such Detention Centers its funded and monitored by the un. Many here are plagued by uncertainty frustration and boredom some try to escape. Given. And instability in libya she has had of course thats the to me of that we ourselves have a hard time making ends meet. I anyone entertaining the idea of coming to libya should think again before going to g. B. Via the book at which model i meet mother given will know we see the video we see its unclear when the detainees will be released. The black smoke rising from the scene looks like burning plastic reuben and his pilot can relax knowing that the migrants now on board the rescue ship are safe. At it right up to what we destroy the rock so if we have enough time so that they can be used again they already have a lot of grey are intact so using them again would be dangerous because theyre more likely to sink like a brick. The libyan coast guard is lurking near the aquarius. Not cry of someone is trying to radio the aquarius but it could get interesting over there. But i dont want us to get any closer. Yeah the navy and coast guard up front that. Every trip running out of your depth but we have to go back. For ruben knowing about our todays patrol was a routine mission. And not often we dont find anything and every day we dont find a boat in distress is a good day but were here for those days where there is a potent distress. But i dont think. The u. N. Observer in the back was able to make a firsthand assessment of the situation through benoit about our hopes joint missions like this will help refute the allegations he and other n. G. O. S are facing. Even if the ship was far away their entire. To save the boat that shows how important our work continues to be and how these humanitarian crises cannot be solved by simply bribing local militias to close off the beaches its a very shortsighted policy what we do is compensate for that policy we go out in search of those boats and they get rescued so its nice to finish today with a success and right now im just really glad the boats passengers were rescued would that one of. The work is a big challenge for the volunteer rescuers the toughest part of the job is dealing with the human misery they encounter on an almost daily basis with. The best pointed out for. You can tell what theyve been through they have scars and Bullet Wounds which have often not been treated properly theres a lot of crying its an extremely emotional situation and when things get hectic the crew have to maintain order and try to calm the people down. There are about to be rescued so theres a lot of adrenaline going and things can get out of control. Detective. But when he gets left this is an example of something we try to avoid drawing up right beside us but sometimes there are a number of boats and one drifts towards us. Then you have to tell the people that they have to come aboard one by one one by one eyed if people dont remain calm danger that their boat will collapse and passengers will fall into the water. To conceal fines and this is so off the court we hire so we have to hoist them up some of them are completely exhausted and fall back down because theyre unaware just how weak they are with us in fiftys and. Last year the sea watch team had a particularly Dramatic Mission their plane spotted a group of people out at sea and the in the water by the time end in g. O. Rescue ship arrived seven had drowned. The surface of the homes in still a ship at the top of the picture is the uganda it was seized by italian prosecutors and is currently unable to conduct any more asians so it makes us really angry knowing that the ship that rescued people back then is now stuck in italy to go to get the just me talking for its a policy that makes no sense. To this one this one ill admit that i do everything they can to prevent people from coming here while at the same time trying to get rid of the rescue organizations is confident that through the end of the sixtys listen this foolish and snuffles youve got. Two days later the rescue ship acquiring us has reached the sicilian port of trapani the migrants it picked up have made it to the e. U. And have now been officially registered with the italian authorities. They will now be distributed among various refugee camps in addition to recovering from their journey and perhaps playing a bit of soccer they will start learning italian there crucially they know they are now safe and have reached europe. The crew of the aquarius have a few hours free time after their. Strenuous search and rescue operation. Shows us drawings by children thanking the team for saving them. Over a year. We love s. O. S. Nice favors where you want to be i mean im with us right now but so in a frantic way and then theres this one youre already i thank god for our rescue and everything and im for the rescuers on youre over there and going to reflect on i thought about that and we like the rescue team every noise on every day were sad to hear some of them from the list that got quite a to get upset across a prison where are these are messages that have really touched our hearts and we have put them on the wall as a reminder of how much love we invest in our work to do anything but how much love we get back because when i. Had six pm the crew have to get back to work and prepare the aquarius for its next expedition nobody knows what the situation in the mediterranean would be like without the efforts of organizations like theres. A quicker seems no alternative to carrying on. Not from the surface you know to be got to do things to save the people dont come because they know the rescue ships will be that they come because theyre desperate and as you can see the experience shows that if you close off one route people are forced to try another more dangerous route and mentor for think with a lot of movement of the feelings of we will be there to try and do what we do best rescue people and go to the moon and to show the rest of the world this is the reality of whats going on here is that this is whats happening on europes doorstep.
